Christmas is just around the corner, but private detective Clara Fitzgerald is not feeling very festive. She has a troubling case to solve - the mystery of who really shot Jao Leong. Was she a victim of a police raid?

Or did someone assassinate her? Jao's brother, arch-villain Brilliant Chang, will not rest until he knows the truth, and Clara is afraid of who might face his wrath along the way. In the meantime, she has received a desperate plea for help to locate a missing tortoise. Edgar Malory is frightened his pet has been stolen. She finds herself stumbling into the curious world of reptiles, while trying to track down the absent creature before he freezes to death.
